For finding the diameter of the circle of the given equation (x-4)^2+(y+6)^2=16

We compare this equation by the circle of the equation that is   x^2+y^2=r^2

we get the value of " r" is 4 which is the square root of 16.

We know that the diameter of the circle is twice the circle's radius so the diameter of the given equation is 2r=2*4=8 

Option( c) is correct.
